hey guys, so like anyone that's building a script or a website would like to try and keep his Copyright statement from being removed by the user.

so is there a way to do that? can i make the script to stop working if the Copyright statement is removed?? and by the way i am using a template system so the user can change the appearance of the website.

thank you in advance

Are you talking about a PHP script that you want to make available for others to use, but require them to leave the copyright notice in it? I don't think that makes any sense, because if you succeeded in writing something in the script to, say, check for the presence of the notice, all they would have to do is remove that part of the logic. So I'd have to say that the answer to your question is No.

If you want to keep the notice, have a good, signed contract with them, otherwise, they can remove it at will.
